Flexible chains represent a new type of conveyor belt, offering many advantages over traditional conveying methods. It features high strength, resistance to acids, alkalis, and saltwater, a wide operating temperature range, excellent anti-sticking properties, the ability to install partition plates, a large adjustable angle, easy cleaning, and simple maintenance. Flexible chains can be used for conveying in various environments, such as the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, packaging industry, daily chemical industry, automotive industry, logistics industry, entertainment facilities, conveyor belts, and conveyor equipment. So what issues do we need to be aware of when connecting flexible chains? The common connection methods for flexible chain conveyors include mechanical, cold bonding, and heat vulcanization. Machinery uses belt buckle joints; this type of joint is convenient and cost-effective, but it has low efficiency and is prone to damage, which affects the service life of flexible chain plate products. The flexible chain cold adhesive method involves using a cold adhesive for joining. This joining method is more efficient and cost-effective than the mechanical method. However, the process conditions are difficult to control, and moreover the quality of the adhesive has a significant impact on the joints, so the result is not very stable. The thermosulfurization joint for flexible chains is currently the most ideal joining method; it features high joining efficiency, great stability, a long service life, and is easy to use. However, the process is rather complicated, the costs are high, and it takes a long time to create the joints. That’s all regarding the precautions for connecting flexible chains.
